Video: What do you want Meredith to call the tape, Carrie -- 'Judy'?
"Today" producers aren't doing us any favors by showing a clip package that acts as if all of the pushback towards Carrie has been Perezian in nature. But then again, Carrie does herself no favors by being so Coutler/Malkin/Hassebeckian in...
